This argument is covered in the article.

I think the point they’re getting at Is that you can’t use a self-hosted vpn to hide your piracy activity because the link is registered to yourself.

It actually is available on the website, but like most stores their mobile web experience isn’t great.

That actually made me laugh out loud. 😂

The Lowe’s app is actually really handy. You can look up any item and it will tell you the exact isle and bay it’s in for your store. No more wandering around or hunting for an employee to ask. It’s the only store app I actually keep on my phone.

Hey Discord, give us the ability to stream audio when sharing our screen on Linux ffs.

I’ve been using screenfetch.

IDK man, I’ve been using it exclusively on my main desktop at home and I’ve been getting along just fine with those “not particularly good” applications.

What would you suggest then? They’ve been unable to sustain themselves via donations alone.

Mozilla has to generate enough revenue to continue developing their products somehow. It would be nice if donations were enough to cover those development costs but that simply isn’t the case. Because of this the ad networks are a necessary “evil”.

I just recently had a wfh user ship me one of his monitors back because we had exhausted every thing I could think of troubleshooting-wise. When it arrived I unboxed it, plugged it in and the damn thing worked fine. I followed up with him and finally realized he had been trying to push the damn power LED instead of the actual power button.

It’s a work laptop. My personal stuff is running FOSS.

Agreed. Seems the notification tray in Windows is just a catch-all for spam (mostly from MS themselves)

Exactly. It’s pseudo code. It’s meant to be universally understandable, not language specific.

Edge’s first launch setup is a straight-up fucking barrage of pop-ups and tabs auto opening. It’s ridiculous. I groan every time I have to go through it at work. It’s almost a shame because when edge-chrome first launched it actually wasn’t bad. Of course Microsoft couldn’t have that and had to fuck it up as soon as they could.

Good luck finding a 65 inch computer monitor

Same I was taught. Think it’s official. Professor was a stickler for following official rules so I doubt he would deviate.

I have one of these on every TV in my house and they’re great!

That seems like a bad faith argument, but I’ll indulge. Gasoline internal combustion engine aren’t made to run indefinitely and have many components that can wear over time and require regular maintenance. Modern computer hardware has no problem with the task and my “newest” computer which was built back in 2016 has run pretty much non-stop for 8 years now with 0 failure. At this point the hardware is more likely to be replaced due to age than failure. The only argument I can see making sense is maybe the cost of electricity aspect; but even then modern power supplies are so efficient I’d be surprised if it costs me more than $10/yr. to leave my PC on so I don’t it’s a very strong argument.
